Can a B2 driver's license be inspected in another location?

B2 driver's license can be inspected in another location. Here is an introduction to the relevant content of vehicle inspection: Driver's license inspection: The inspection of a B2 driver's license should be conducted at the vehicle management office where the license was issued. However, for motor vehicle drivers engaged in commercial operations in another location, after registering with the vehicle management office of the operation location for one year, they can directly participate in the inspection at the operation location. Inspection time: Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks should report to the traffic management department of the public security authority for inspection within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there is no scoring record during a scoring cycle, the inspection for that cycle is exempted.
Yes, you can definitely renew your driver's license in a different location. Last year when I was on a business trip in Guangdong, my license was about to expire. I simply took my ID card and driver's license to the local DMV, and completed both the physical examination and license renewal within half an hour. Now with the nationwide network system, it's extremely convenient – any DMV at the prefecture-level city can handle it. The key is to check in advance whether the local designated hospitals for physical exams are connected to the network, as some small county clinics might not have their data systems integrated yet. I'd recommend avoiding the end-of-month peak period – last time I went on the 25th and had to queue for two hours, while the staff said early month has the lightest traffic. One important reminder: if your license has demerit points, you must settle all traffic violations before renewal.
Veteran drivers will tell you that nationwide processing is no longer news. Just bring three things: your old driver's license, ID card, and a one-inch white background photo. Last year when I was doing transport in Hangzhou, I took advantage of the loading break to visit the Binjiang District Vehicle Management Office. Be sure to check if there are designated medical examination sites locally—I had to go to two places to get my driver's medical exam done. It cost 80 yuan plus a 20-yuan medical fee, saving me the travel expenses of going back to my hometown. But remember, you can only apply within 90 days before your driver's license expires; they won't accept applications if you go too early. The girl at the counter also reminded me that the review must be done within 30 days after the scoring cycle ends—don't let it expire.
